Wie monitored ihr eigentlich, ob es eine neue Firmware für den Heimrouter gibt?
Ich so:

❯ ssh router ':local c [/system routerboard get current-firmware]; :local u [/system routerboard get upgrade-firmware]; :local cdot [:find $c "."]; :local udot [:find $u "."]; :local cnum ([:tonum [:pick $c 0 $cdot]]*1000 + [:tonum [:pick $c ($cdot+1) [:len $c]]]); :local unum ([:tonum [:pick $u 0 $udot]]*1000 + [:tonum [:pick $u ($udot+1) [:len $u]]]); :if ($cnum=$unum) do={:put "Firmware is up to date"} else={:if ($unum>$cnum) do={:put ("Upgrade available: " . $c . " → " . $u)} else={:put ("Current firmware (" . $c . ") is newer than upgrade (" . $u . ")")}}'
Firmware is up to date

Daraus habe ich mir dann einen UserParameter in Zabbix gebaut, der ein Item befüttert, das dann im Falle einer neuen Firmware einen Trigger feuert, der mir denn eine Telegram-Nachricht schickt.
Die KI hat geholfen, hoffentlich korrekt - es ist nicht so, daß ich das Skript verstehen würde 😉

Warmer weather is predicted! Hurrah! We are looking forward to working in Rīga for the next two weeks and as it’s June, some sunshine would be a delight! I will be teaching an MTCNA and MTCEWE at the #MikroTik #RouterOS Training Centre plus an extra one day’s DeepDive into advanced wireless RouterOS topics. Excited to be there and cannot wait to see old friends and family again. toot.lv/@LSM_Eng_rss/114652349

Ha! Great news from #MikroTik #RouterOS changelog. Looks like somebody finally tried to use #DHCPv6 Relay and figured out it was completely useless for DHCP-PD.

7.18
*) dhcpv6-relay - added option to create routes for bindings passing through relay;
7.18.1
*) dhcpv6-relay - clear saved routes on DHCP release;

- Turned my old hAP AC Lite into the User Manager (MikroTik's RADIUS implementation) for the wifi.
- Turned parent's old hAP AC Lite into the DNS server for my ".local" domains (actual DNS server that gets queried is elsewhere, this is just the upstream basically).

Gotta love the options RouterOS has that allows me to basically just re-purpose old stuff instead of putting it in a drawer to possibly never be seen again.

For those wishing to learn more about the basics of #MikroTik #RouterOS I wrote a book. We hand these out to students when they’re attending our #MTCNA Training courses. But it’s still a very useful reference to have even if you’re not quite ready yet to take that first step towards becoming a MikroTik Certified Engineer. It’s not available from Amazon, instead you can order it direct from my good friends at #LinITX. linitx.com/product/mikrotik-mt

occambsd.sh is close to the src and allows you to create custom/minimal systems, with optional boot image output

propagate.sh allows you to create custom/minimal systems with packages base, with optional boot image output

imagine.sh allows you to image OccamBSD, Propagate, and upstream #FreeBSD, #OmniOS, #Debian, and #RouterOS images, mirroring some, and create Windows images

sideload.sh allows you to push your current FreeBSD configuration to one of the above-generated fresh installations

rc.local.sh allows you to best-effort idempotently configure basic aspects of a system

tl:dr: I never want to see a 1980’s-style installer again
